If it does, then it's a chance we take knowing it will probably backfire. But I'd feel better, at least.

[glorious]

[smiles and leans forward to kiss him]

I trust my knight to give it his all.

[deathandtaxes]

[kisses him readily, but quickly, pulling away to grin up at him.]

That's because he will.

[glorious]

[laughs]

Then we're decided.

For my life, we offer them their own.

[deathandtaxes]

Agreed.

[glorious]

[goes to make the offer]

[glorious]

[After that, picking up the knife and vial and looking them both over.]

...They were kind enough to give us weapons before placing us in this cell.

[deathandtaxes]

Probably to use on ourselves if we wanted.

[glorious]

[...chuckles darkly]

[sets the knife and vial back down]

The knife isn't much, but we could try to coat it with poison. If nothing else, we may be able to cause them some damage.

Though that assumes they'd be willing to fight us directly. There's a chance they'll simply close the walls in on us for refusing to play by their rules.

[deathandtaxes]

If they do, then that's how it'll be. If they don't, well... I can't say I know much about knives, but I'll give it my all.

[glorious]

Of course.

...We should also be aware of the possibility that they may choose not to accept our offer and find another way to force us to kill one another. We should be emotionally prepared for that outcome as well.

[deathandtaxes]

That won't happen.

[glorious]

[ . . . ]

Very well. It won't.

[deathandtaxes]

...Thanks for humoring me.

[glorious]

You're welcome. We'll find a way to make it work.
